Julie and her sons moved to End of the Line after a
dangerous encounter with her abusive husband led to a rescue by her brother,
Clay and an old friend, Hank. Over time, her relationship with Hank takes a
turn and when he unexpectedly proposes, she is forced to face the battle
between her heart and her newfound freedom.
Hank hadn’t seen the woman he held a secret crush on
in years, but when her brother asks his help in a dangerous hostage stand-off,
he is there in a heartbeat, even taking a bullet to protect Julie and her kids.
But will these rekindled feelings Hank has be enough to hold against the time
that Julie needs to adjust to her new life and, will Hank decide that it’s
worth the wait?
~Read an Excerpt from Worth the Wait
Hank’s body was drenched
in sweat, his skin covered with soot. Fear, but a greater determination to
survive—to see Julie and the boys again—drove him.
The nose dipped slightly,
offering a clear, panoramic view of the lake of fire below. He pulled up,
fighting the heat and the crosswind caused by the fire. The plane jerked from
right to left. His arms ached from gripping the controls. His jaw muscles
twitched as he fought to get more altitude.
“How are we doing, Jack?”
he asked, his back teeth grinding from the force of his determination.
“Good, just a minor
complication,” Jack answered, as he glanced out his window. “We’ve got a fiery branch
sucked into one of the engines.” Just then the propeller slowed to a complete
stop.
The sputtering started,
and it rattled the plane. “We need to set her down. Any ideas?” Hank asked, his
heart dwindling as he looked over the glowing sea of red.
Jack took out the map.
“There’s a lake not far from here. It might be our only chance.”
“Sounds like a deal,”
Hank said. “Anything is better than blowing up in the sky, right?”
“Agreed.” Jack pointed to
the lake. “There it is.” Surrounded by mountains, it was formed like a giant
crater had dropped onto the earth.
“At least the fire is
behind us,” Hank said with a wry grin.
“You can do this, sir,”
Jack said, flipping switches and checking the view in front of them.
“This isn’t going to be
pretty.” Hank slowed his engines in order to coast in and hopefully soften the
landing. “You know how to swim?”
“On my college swim
team,” Jack said, turning to Hank with a wide grin.
Hovering over the lake,
the distance between plane and black water closed in at a rapid pace.
The plane
hit the surface, spraying water into the air with the force akin to hitting a
freight train head-on. Hank’s body, pushed forward by the force, slammed into
the controls. He felt a quick snap in his side before the front window imploded
and knocked him back in the seat. Frigid water rushed over him.
He only had
time to glance over at Jack, who was doubled over, his chin dropped against his
chest. I’m sorry, Kyle, was his last
thought before his world went black
